Hi

I am urgently looking for a job in Singapore.

However, I am unable to find consultancies that deal with jobs in Singapore.

Requesting all to provide me the names (or website) of such consultancies in India.

If you can guide me on what is the correct way to get a job in Singapore, it would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

I have written a code in Eclipse for updating some BLOB fields in Oracle database.

To be more specific, I read a BLOB field from the database, parse it and create a collection object out of it.

After that I delete one item from the collection and again recreate the BLOB and update it back into the table.

The read and update operation are done using simple JDBC code (Nothing great it that!!!).

Now, the problem is, when I run the code in debug mode, it works fine. The item gets deleted properly from the collection and the new BLOB object is properly updated into the database.

But, when I run the code in normal mode, the removal of item from collection works fine, but somehow, the update part is not working. The BLOB field remains the same in the database.

It may seem weird, but trust me its happening with me:-(

Any help please???

P.S: I am not using any Threads in my code, so I don't think there is any timing related issue or any deadlocks.

I had asked this earlier but didn't get much response...

The issue is when I connect to the internet, a website called www.fatheringmind.com opens up at regular intervals.. I think it is because of some kind of malware/spyware. Can anyone please help in the cleaning this stuff?? It is really irritating and on top of that, the laptop I use, is provided by my employer and I am answerable to them if they find out about this.

Also, please suggest me any free and reliable anti-spywares.

Thanks & Regards

I would like to know your opinion about which fighter aircraft will be the best for Indian Air Force in the current MMRCA competition and why?

Recently, I had a telephonic interview. One of the question that was asked to me was "Why the method call System.gc() doesn't guarantees that the Garbage Collector algorithm will run at that moment?" Basically, the interviewer wanted to know why the Sun guys have design the garbage collector in such a way that it can't be called by a java code?

Any idea on this?

Also, please share if you have faced any tough or tricky questions in java and if possible, answers too!

Thanks

Hi

I am looking for programming questions that are asked in interviews.

Actually I want to practice these types of questions as much as possible. I have got a few questions which I am listing below:

1. Given a mathematical expression, write a program to validate the expression and evaluate the expression with the user inputs and print the result.

e.g. Given expression: (((a+b)/(c-d))*e)^2, & inputs: a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5

The program should validate this expression and if the expression is ok, it should replace the inputs and evaluate the expression and print the value.

2. How to implement a stack using 2 queues? Also how to implement a queue using 2 stacks?

3. Given a comma-separated string, write a program to efficiently calculate and print the number of words that has got same alphabets irrespective of the sequence.

e.g Given string: abc,bbc,acb,bac,xyz,xzy,gh

Output:

abc - 3

xyz - 2

bbc - 1

gh - 1

Please share with me if you have any such questions (and if possible, the answers also) with you or any links which has a list of such questions.

Thank You in Advance
